| If you look at the terms and conditions of carriage on TFL services ( which I did a few years back & it's like a telephone directory) One has to remember that your fare is also a form of insurance. If you work and carry professional tools - even a laptop or bespoke software but more likely trade or professional equipment then it is unlikely that it is permitted in any London Transport service but particularly on services that use tunnels , so the tube underground and Elizabeth Line. Of course many who are carrying either prohibited items in their very long list do as they are out of sight and very portable. Only when something happens does this become apparent. You either have no right to claim or can be held fully liable if your item causes injury or delay. You own business PLI won't cover you because you have breached the T&Cs of carriage. If you run a vehicle, car or van or bike you have to have PLI as well as mandatory insurance, and this normally covers passengers. But while Mayor and his pals want to choke small businesses and self employed out of London and force people onto the public transport, the TfL T&Cs have remained unchanged. In fact from terrorism, much has been increased. But like the mask wearing fiasco with no proper enforcement, this is also an area where there is little enforcement if any. That is until you have something happen and you find you are not insured or covered as you were travelling in breach of the T&Cs. TfL and the Mayors office repeatedly refuse to address this or how this is supposed to accommodate those they wish to force out of vehicles. In current times this reckless approach is going to plunge hundreds of thousands below the poverty line and into unviable business. |
